A Prayer For Restored Success

Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love,

so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.

Give us gladness in proportion to our former misery!

Replace the evil years with good.

Let us, your servants, see you work again;

let our children see your glory.

And may the Lord our God show us his approval

and make our efforts successful.

Yes, make our efforts successful!

Psalm 90:14-17

In this prayer, Moses asked that God’s unfailing love would greet his people every morning. He prayed for his people to see the miracles of God’s work in their lives, and he asked for God’s approval of their efforts.

Ask God to bless your endeavors: “Yes, make our efforts successful!” But remember your requests reveal how you measure success. When you spend time in prayer today, ask God for his blessings on your efforts. But first ask yourself what true success is.

• Dear Lord, make my efforts successful in the following ways . . .
